ALLEN This name was first spelled Alan and is derived from Al, meaning mountainous, high and bright. It was borne by an uncle of Caractacus, who was descended from a long line of Kings, and the name became highly honored at the time of the Norman conquest. Alan, duke of Brittany. who took a prominent part at the battle of Hastings, became the third richest man in the kingdom. It is difficult to decide upon the armorial bearings of this family as there are no less than sixty-two different coats-of-arms. (I) James Allen, progenitor of the Allens, of Medfield, and nephew of Rev. John Allen, who came from Wrentham, Suffolk county, England, was born about 1608, and died in Medfield, September 27, 1676. His will, made "in old age," was dated September 23, 1676. and probated January 30, 1677. There is no doubt that he came to Boston as early as 1637, removed to Dedham and was a proprietor there in 1638. He took the freeman's oath in 1647, and in 1649 was among the first settlers in Medfield. He drew his house lot on South street, near the present homestead of Mr. Rhodes, was living there in 1652, and doubt- less lived there for several years. There are indications that he conveyed the place to his son Nathaniel upon the latter attaining major- ity, and owned another house which he left in his will to his son-in-law, Joseph Clark, Jr. About 1653 he received a grant in the northern part of the town bounded west by "Stony Winterbrook." This was near the house lot afterward granted to his son Joseph. He also had lands in various other parts of the town and on both sides of the river. He married, March 16, 1638, at Dedham, Massachusetts, Ann, who died March 29. 1672-73, doubtless a sister of John Guild, of Dedham, who came to America in 1636. Children: 1. John, born December 4, 1639 ; died July 3, 1696. 2. Mary, December II, 1641 ; died May 5, 1702: mar- ried, June 25, 1663, Joseph Clark, Jr. 3. Mar- tha, twin of Mary; married, December 22. 1663, William Sabin. 4. Sarah, May 4, 1644:

died November 7, 1715 ; married, January 15, 1666-67, Domingo White. 5. James, April 28, 1646; died 1691 ; married, December 12, 1673, Lydia Adams. 6. Nathaniel, August 29, 1648; died in 1718; married (first) Mary Sabin ; (second) April 10, 1677, Mary Frizzell. 8. Joseph, see forward.

(II) Joseph, youngest child of James and Ann (Guild) Allen, was born in Medfield, Massachusetts, June 10, 1652, and died there, January 14, 1703-04. He took his house lot in the northern part of the town and this has since been known as the "Allen place." In 1673 he had a grant of two parcels of land, one between his father's land and the road leading to Goodman Morris, the other between the lands of James Allen and Samuel Wright, bounded on the east by the highway leading to Natick. He was a cooper and farmer by occu- pation and was a sealer of weights and meas- ures in 1688. His house and shop were erect- ed prior to King Philip's war and tradition says that during this struggle the Indians took shavings from the shop and lighted them on the floor of the house; this, however, being done on a trap-door leading to the cellar, the door was burned through and fell and the flames were extinguished, while all the other buildings in that part of the town were de- stroyed. It is certain that his name does not appear among the petitioners for aid in conse- quences of losses occasioned by the Indian raids. His will was presented for probate in 1720 when his youngest son came of age. He and his wife were members in full communion at the time of Mr. Baxter's settlement. He married, 1673. Hannah, born in 1654, died October 4, 1730, daughter of William Sabin. Children : 1. Joseph, born December 19, 1676; died in 1727. 2. Hannah, June 23, 1679. 3.

(III) Eleazer, fifth son and sixth child of Joseph and Hannah (Sabin ) Allen, was born in Medfield, August 25, 1688; died in Dover, Massachusetts, 1759. He settled on a tract of land that his father had purchased in the south- ern part of Dover, on the okl road from Dover to Medfield, this being the present site of the Country Club grounds. There were one hun- dred acres or more of high ground overlook- ing the surrounding country, and his son Ele- azer received the farm upon the death of his

father. At this time the elder Eleazer was a citizen of Dedham, the town of Dover being set off in 1784, and he belonged to the First church, of Medfield. He was a thrifty and in- dustrious farmer and left a comfortable for- tune. He married, July 9, 1712, Mary, born March 12, 1683-84, died January 12, 1759, daughter of John and Hannah Battle, of Ded- ham. Children: 1. Eleazer, Jr., born May 27, 1713. 2.

(IV) Samuel, third son and fourth child of Eleazer and Mary (Battle) Allen, was born in. Dedham (now Dover), Massachusetts, June 10, 1724 ; died in Franklin, Massachusetts, Jan- uary 29, 1783, and is buried in the Union street cemetery. At an early age he learned the housewright's trade which he followed until his marriage. He settled in Franklin (then Wrentham), in the Metcalf district, on a farm of about one hundred acres, being one of the pioneers in that section. From that time he was engaged in farming and sold his products in Boston, accumulating a consider- able fortune. On one of his market trips he bought a slave baby for one dollar, whom he named Dinah Allen and gave her liberty when she was eighteen years old. Subsequently she lived in the family of Rev. Dr. Emmons. Mr. Allen joined Rev. Elias Haven's church, July I, 1744, and his wife joined March 28, 1749. He married, in 1747, Abigail Smith, and their only child was Abijah, concerning whom see forward.

(V) Abijah, only child of Samuel and Abi- gail (Smith) Allen, was born in Franklin ( then Wrentham), Massachusetts, July 17, 1754, and died there, February 23, 1832. He was brought up to follow farming as his life work and acquired the usual education of a farmer's son of that period. He inherited the paternal farm, was strictly honest and straight- forward, and highly respected in the commun- ity. During the revolution he served as a pri- vate from Wrentham, Captain Asa Fairbanks' company, which marched upon the Lexington alarm ; also in the same company, Major Seth Bullard's regiment, from Franklin, which marched to Rhode Island upon the alarm there. Family tradition says that he was one of the members of the famous "Boston Tea Party." He married, June 17, 1777, Abigail Maxcy, born November 21, 1763, died July 19, 1832. She was a most capable woman, bright and

His education was obtained in the district school and prior to his marriage he became a bonnet presser for Robert Blake, of Wrentham, and Davis Thayer, of Franklin, remaining one year at each place. He taught school at Unionville, a part of Franklin. He then settled in Summer street, where he was engaged in coopering and box making in addi- tion to farming. His shop was located on his farm and he made boxes for the boot firms in Mendon and Milford, and for straw bonnets at Franklin. When the manufacture of boxes by machinery was started he gave up this line of industry. He was of a mechanical turn of mind and possessed of good judgment, and his farm of sixty acres showed the benefit of its practical cultivation. In politics he was a Whig and served the town as assessor for a period of ten years. He joined the orthodox church, July 27, 1828, and became superintend- ent of the Sunday school ; his wife, who joined the church November 24, 1822, was blind fif- teen years before her death.

His education was acquired in the district schools, the Franklin Academy and the acad- emy at New Hampton, New Hampshire, until the age of eighteen years. During his spare time he assisted his father in the cultivation of the home farm, and then for two years pressed straw hats and bonnets for Aaron H. Morse, of Franklin, and for a further two years for Davis Thayer. He removed to Wor- cester and worked for himself in the repairing business, and at the end of two years returned to Franklin, where he manufactured felt hats, which he sold in New York and Boston. After four years he went to Malden for one year then to Keene, New Hampshire, where he was again in the repair business, and then to Read- ing, Pennsylvania, with the same line of work. He again returned to Franklin in 1868, where he has since been engaged in farming on his boyhood's home. He has been very successful as an agriculturist and dairy farmer, keeping from twenty-five to thirty head of the finest cattle, formerly marketed his milk in Boston, but for the past thirty-three years has sold it in Frank- lin. At one time he and his brother, Thomas B., were in the lumber business and also re- paired roads for the town for several years. Mr. Allen's farm comprises about one hundred and twenty acres, overlooking Uncas lake and the blue hills of Milton, and is in one of the most picturesque parts of the country. He and his wife have been members of the Con- gregational church for forty-seven years, and in politics he affiliates with the Republican party, having been assessor for one year, and also served as overseer of the poor fourteen years and as road surveyor four years.

(VII) Thomas Bacon, youngest child of Cyrus and Sally ( Bacon) Allen, was born in Franklin, Massachusetts, October 7, 1836. He received his education at the "Four Corners" district school and at a select school conducted by S. K. Sawyer, and this was supplemented by a short course in the academy at New Hampton. New Hampshire. At the age of eighteen years he commenced to assist his father on the farm, but owing to ill health he was obliged to rest for a period of five years and then entered into the wood and lumber business, cutting and drawing the wood him- self and selling it in Franklin. In 1869 he removed to Franklin Center and settled on the estate of his wife's people in Union street, where he has since resided. In the fall of that vear he took the contract to rebuild about one mile of road in Summer street, and the next season engaged in the portable saw mill busi- ness, operating in many sections of the coun- try for twenty-five years, and making his con- tracts by the thousand feet. He sold this enter- prise in July. 1894. to Crooks Brothers, of Bellingham, Massachusetts, for whom he work- ed for a time. In the spring of 1895 he set up a saw mill in North Carolina, and in the fall of the same year he engaged in the retail wood business, establishing his plant at his present residence, and enjoying a large local trade.

TUCKER The origin of this surname is somewhat uncertain, but it is supposed to be one of those names derived from a trade, that of "fuller" or "tucker." The family is ancient in England and has arms on record for 1079 and 1080 as follows : Barry wavy of ten, argent and azure on a chevron embattled between three sea- horses naiant or, five gouttes-de-poix. Crest : A lion's ganm, erased and erect gules, charged with three billets in pale or, holding in the foot a battle-ax argent, handle of the second. Motto: Nil desperandum. George Tucker, of Milton-next-Gravesend, England, was a man of note in that ancient place. Queen Elizabeth conveyed the manor to him in 1572. Of the twelve principal inhabitants of Gravesend and Milton, in 1572, George Tucker is mentioned as the third. Henry Tucker was mayor of Gravesend and Milton in 1637. Soon after this the Tucker family , disappears and no further trace of it is found in the records of Gravesend and Milton, confirming the gener- ally accepted tradition that about this time the younger members of the family emigrated to America.

(I) Robert Tucker, immigrant ancestor, is supposed to have come to this country with a company from Weymouth, England, with the Rev. Dr. Hull, to Weymouth, Massachusetts, where he was in 1635. He afterwards removed to Gloucester, where he held the office of recorder, and where it is probable that some of his children were born. He went back to Weymouth and held several important offices there. About the time that the town of Mil- ton was incorporated in 1662, he removed to Milton and purchased several adjoining lots on Brush Hill, of Widow Farmsworth, Elder Henry Withington and Mrs. Fenno, contain- ing in all about one hundred and seventeen acres, and bordering on lands that his son James purchased some time previous. He was town clerk for several years and deputy to the general court. He was active in the church, being on the church committee. He died March 11. 1682, at the age of seventy-eight. He mar- ried Elizabeth Allen. Children: 1. Sarah, born March 17, 1639; married Peter Warren. 2. James, 1640. 3. Joseph, 1643; mentioned below. 4. Elizabeth, 1644; married Ebenezer
